service roads
Parallel local routes
Service roads are smaller roads running parallel to a main highway or thoroughfare, providing access to businesses, residences, or properties without requiring vehicles to use the high-speed lanes.
They're also called frontage roads or access roads.
Service roads allow local traffic to enter and exit properties safely while keeping through traffic moving on the main route.
We took the service road to avoid the highway congestion.
